It’s okay to say, "I'm not okay." If trying to return to “normal life” post pandemic is harder than you thought & you’re sad or anxious and not sure why- you are not alone. Life is messy but good therapy ends. Maybe your life looks nothing like it did two years ago & you’re reeling and only now catching your breath and struggling to breathe. Maybe your life looks the same and you feel different but you’re stuck, overwhelmed and don’t know what to do next. What we allow will continue & lasting change requires work. Often starting the work & reaching out is a daunting task but when we avoid our stories, that's when they define us.
Change happens & experience matters- both yours & mine. I am a Certified Daring Way facilitator based on the research of Brené Brown, PhD. All Daring Way facilitators have completed training certification process led by Brené Brown & TDW Faculty- focusing on developing shame resilience skills & daily practices to transform the way we love, parent and lead.
The quality of your life is crafted from your decisions. Whether those decisions are intentional or passive, we create and re-create our lives every day. Struggle can be our greatest call to courage and the clearest path to your best life. Your breakthrough is waiting. Relationship counseling, executive coaching & individual therapy offered.
